Revised settings 7-28-18: Had picture mode originally set to Movie but found Normal to be better. Normal can produce really flushed faces unless the color setting is turned down - but also produces the sharpest most accurate picture in my opinion. Note: I believe these setting are pretty much the default settings except I turned down the color a bit.
- TV Brightness: Bright during mid day, darker at night (2 easy clicks to change) - or just keep it on Normal. * This TV is more than bright enough for bright daylight viewing. Saw some complaints that it's not very bright. It's more than plenty bright!
- Picture mode: Normal
- Audio effect: Theater (sound's not that bad - but by no means as good as a sound bar). I also have it toslink connected to an older 5.1 Denon receiver - sounds great).
- Backlight: 100
- Brightness: 50
- Contrast: 100
- Sharpness: 0
- Color: 42
- Tint: 0
- Temp: Normal
- Micro Contrast: Low
- All other setting turned to Off (noise reduction, etc.)
Love the picture coming over cable, antenna, and streaming. HDR on YouTube is stunning. I mostly use the TV to watch Cable TV. Don't have any streaming subscriptions. The picture is very clean, sharp, accurate color, deep blacks, etc. No complaints. Getting around Roku is a snap, and changing settings and all is very intuitive. So far so good, and it is the best TV I've owned. Price is great for what you get.
I programmed my One for All universal learning remote for this TV and duplicated the Roku remote perfectly except for the 4 subscription buttons (Netflix and all) which I could care less about. 5 digit code is 11756 (the same code needed when setting up the Xfinity/Comcast remote).
* I really wanted the 55R617 but I was scared off from the high % with vertical banding issues and didn't feel like playing the screen lottery. I'm glad I went with the 55S517, and saved $175.00 in the process. 7-28-18: Still love the TV. Can't compare to a high-end OLED, but I really don't need to. The picture quality, the price, and everything about the TV is all I need.
We just moved and I don’t have a place for my PC yet so I hooked it up to the TV and turned on the game setting. I had no trouble playing Overwatch and didn’t feel like there was much latency. If this wasn’t our regular TV, I would consider hooking this up to my computer to play on.
Sound quality is just ok. It’s loud enough but not a lot of bass. It’s what I would expect from it.
The remote is very simple and easy to use. Even my 3 year old son has figured out most of the buttons (unfortunatey).
Within the Roku menu, my Blu-ray player, Switch and PC all have their own “channel” so when I want one, I just hit home on the menu and go to it. It makes it a simpler setup than having to remember which input they are plugged into.
I’ve never had feet on a TV like this so I was a little skeptical when I was putting them on and found they are much sturdy than anticipated.
Overall, this is a great TV — not just for the price, but for the product in itself.
Edit: after having it for a few months, the only thing I notice is when the screen is completely black, there is some light bleed on the bottom right area but this could also just me being picky. Even with it, I hardly notice it and it’s never been noticeable with a picture on the screen. You almost have to be looking for it when the screen is black...see? It’s just me being picky. I also had a strange moment where everything went red. Meaning, the tv was functioning as normal but it all went into 16 shades of red. I contacted customer service who was very polite and helpful. We did a quick soft reset by holding a few buttons down and all was good in the world again. I’d still highly recommend getting this TV.
